This tutorial will be in conjunction with my tutorial on how to 3-D a cuff. There will be two different styles of cuffs, although both are similar. I'll be going over both steps.
You will need:
Beads
String
Scissors
Note: Make sure to keep your string tight at all times. You don't want loose kandi, it looks sloppy, and is harder to work with, especially with larger pieces. Just make sure not to pull it too tight, especially if you're using elastic string. That can cause the elastic to lose its elasticity, which will cause it to look sloppy as well.

First off, thread three beads on to a piece of string large enough to wrap around your wrist a few times. Don't worry about exact measurements, you can always add more string later if necessary.  Repeat your pattern until you have enough for a single. Tie it off, but leave a long tail.  I used a different colored bead to represent an anchor point. Making sure your string is coming out of an anchor point, thread on three more beads. Then, thread the string under the next anchor point.  Repeat, all the way around the bracelet, until you get back to your starting point.

Weave your string up two beads, so that it comes out the middle of the closest point.  Add on three more beads, and weave the string under the next point.  Do this all the way around, until you are back at your starting point.  As before, weave up and over, so you're coming out the middle of the next point.

Now, at this point, you can go one of two ways. If you want a regular cuff, add two beads on, weave under the next point, and continue on around the rest of the bracelet. If you're using my pattern, they would both be the same solid color green beads. When you reach the end of the row, tie it off, and you're done. However, if you're doing the double x pattern, string on three more beads, then weave under the middle of the next point.  Continue around, until you get back to your starting point.  Weave up and over until you are coming out the middle of the next point.

Thread on three more beads, and weave the string under the next point.  Continue around, until you reach where you started from. Just like before, weave up and over so you're coming out of the middle of the next point. String on three more beads.  Go all the way around the bracelet, until you reach the starting point.

Weave up and over, just like the other steps, then string on two beads. Weave the string under the next point.  Continue all the way around until you reach your starting point. Tie it off, and you're done. 8D  Using this base, you can make pretty much anything. You can use my other tutorial on how to 3-D one, or you can make up whatever design you feel like. You can even leave it as it is.
